User Rating: 8.9 | Call of Duty PC
To summarize Call of Duty in a couple of sentences, I would have to say this: Call of Duty is with out doubt one of the greatest shooter games ever made, even though it's set in WWII like many other shooters, this one sets itself apart from the rest by focusing on more than just the American story. Instead this game focus' on other key battles and brings them to life magnificently. Call of Duty - 44/50 Storyline - 11.5/15 WWII has been done before in many different games, but this game sets itself apart from the rest by having three different campaigns: American, British, and Russian. Each one better than the last. The story lines of the of the three campaigns are also quite unique, as they each have there own type of unique mission or battle such as the tank missions in the Russian campaign or when you cripple the legendary German warsihp Tirpitz. You also get to partake in several big battles during the war like: Pegasus Bridge, Stalingrad, and the battle for Berlin. Gameplay - 11/12 The gameplay experience in Call of Duty is like no other shooter that you have played before. You are not just a one man army taking on hundreds upon hundreds of German soldiers with a handgun and a couple of grenades. In this game you are on a team of about 20 people to start and that shrinks until you have to doi the one man grenade thing for a coupleof levels and then grows again. Your war buddies there also have good AI they can take a tank themselves or just commit suicde by running recklessly at thte enemy. They can throw grenades and give you cover or support when needed. The controls in the game are also good and need little adjusting. The levels you play in a car though can be a little rough considering they didn't have a suspension system, which just adds to the realism. Also you have bombs landing everywhere, ditches to hide in or cows to hide behind. All together making for a very realistic WWII experience. Graphics - 9/10 The graphics in Call of Duty are superb to say the least, and you don't need the best graphics card out there to have them either. The level of detail is good everywhere in the game from the grass to facial detail of your captain. All animations run smoothly without little jumps or freezing. MIssion breifings are good and the short video from WWII at the end of the game was of high quality (as high quality as video footage from 1945 gets). And the way jerries come at you when you get close enough is almost scary. Sound - 7.5/8 The sound from this game is amazing, every little sound effect cued on time and music to set the mood fits in perfectly and the music from those gramaphones is also of good classical taste. Voices are well done, especially when you hear a jerry yell "GRENADE". Fun-O-Metre - 5/5 This game is extremly fun and highly addictive. This game is great to play over and over again, and then online which is even more fun providing no one is hacking.
